I would like to get facial fat transfer from a top and specialist surgeon, I have the funds to afford the top procedure. Do have have top doctors recommendations please. Thank you endlessly.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

I understand your situation. Posting on this website saying you have money to spend looking for someone to help you. It’s probably not the best way to find the right provider.
For all cosmetic surgical procedures, there are basically two variables involved in delivering consistent high-quality outcomes. The first is patient candidacy for the specific procedure and the second is the choice of providers.
When things don’t turn out the way patient had hoped it is almost always, because of not understanding, seizure or not having chosen the right provider.Facial fat transfer is one of the hardest procedures to do well on a consistent basis. A seizure is inherently, unpredictable and precise and unforgiving if the results turn out different than what you had hoped for.
Bad transfer is deceptive in many ways. To start with simply looking at before, and after pictures can be deceptive because early results can look very impressive, but do not in any way represent final results. This has an a Normas layer of confusion to consumers who are trying to find the right provider. Provider so show early fat transfer results are not doing anyone any favor by setting expectations that are different than what can actually be achieved. For this reason, I suggest all patients considering any fat transfer procedure always confirm the timeframe of when after pictures were taken in comparison to the date of surgery. After pictures begin to resemble long-term outcomes at about 3 to 6 months. Anything taken within the first few weeks should never be considered representative of final outcomes.
The best way to find the right provider is to have numerous in person consultations. I cutting corners and trying to find the right provider by having virtual consultations or scouring. The Internet is not going to get you what you’re looking for.Doing so he’s going to lead you to the providers who are focusing the most effort on self promotion, advertising, and social media. These have nothing to do with surgical skill.
To find the right provider, I suggest first make a list of all the providers in your community who seem to have a good number of before and after pictures other websites for facial fat transfer. Next set up a series of in person consultations. There’s no correct number of consultations needed to find the right provider. Considering how much variation there is in skill and experience for both Liposuction and fat transfer, I suggest starting by having at least five in person, consultations and consider scheduling more before committing to a Permanente irreversible cosmetic operation. 
During each consultation, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before, and after pictures of previous patients who had similar facial characteristics to your own. As I mentioned earlier, I asked each provider to confirm the exact timeframe on when after pictures were taken. Anyone who shows you early fat transfer results should be an immediate red flag, and probably be someone to be avoided. ethical, honest providers should not be showing early fat transfer results because they said false expectations and our misleading. 
An experienced plastic surgeon should have no difficulty showing you the before and after pictures of at least 50 previous patients. Begin reviewing before and after pictures online. See you have a good idea of what quality results should look like. Take lots of notes during each consultation about the overall thoroughness quality and quantity of before and after pictures, and overall demeanor and commitment during the consultation. There is an inverse correlation between providers who have wrong, Internet presents and surgical skill. Some of the best plastic surgeons I know do any advertising, engage, or social media some don’t even have websites.
In comparison to fat transfer trailers are far more predictable, precise, and forgiving. If the results don’t come out the way you liked. I recognize that most people in your situation are looking for a permanent solution. Recognize that when seeking a permanent procedure, you may also be stuck with that comes through quite different than what you had anticipated. Even in the hands of the most talented providers can’t transfer still has a chance I’m delivering results that are different than what the surgeon or patient had anticipated. Procedure is inherently unpredictable by nature. In my opinion, generally better to grab conservatively, leaving room for further improvement with secondary and possibly tertiary procedures.
My best suggestion is to slow down the process, take your time and have more consultations than you think necessary. The biggest mistake I see patients make is not properly, vetting plastic surgeons and not having enough consultations. There are major differences in skill and experience among plastic surgeons in the potential variation in outcome is greater than most people think. Being board-certified plastic surgery with years of experience in an overall good reputation, does not mean if somebody has mastered anyone single procedure.
Best,
